The film's end does not fulfill the promise of what led up to it. Sheen's character has come to respect Kurtz's reason. He should have a harder time making the decision to kill Kurtz. Brando's character should have had to force Sheen to kill him.rob (10 out of 10 )
No, the end was fine. He followed his orders. That's war. That's a soldier. What kurtz was. The ideal. The only life he knew. He killed him because he respected him.royston (10 out of 10 )
Greatest anti-war film ever made; probably the greatest film ever made, and to think that they more or less winged it as it went along. Methinks that the Gods may have been at work here.Tom (10 out of 10 )
Many people complain about the ending, but I think it's perfect. Nothing is explicitly stated, and no grand meaning is given to the prior events, but that is the point. War is chaos. Kurtz, despite making some sense, is actually "insane". Willard kills him, as per his orders, but he has been changed by the whole ordeal, as has the audience, as has America after Vietnam. The script is good, this draft is OK, but the film itself is a masterwork, particularly the Redux. It is so beautiful and haunting.
